• Stop and check the thick-
ness of the brake pads
(
b

• Have worn brake pads
replaced as quickly as possi-
ble by a certified workshop,
preferably an authorized
BMW motorcycle retailer.
If the brake pad thickness is
sufficient:
• Check the following
functions:
– Ignition off, brake pressure
present at the brake levers.
– Brakes acting on both
wheels.
– Brake system is free from
leaks, no signs of brake fluid
escaping.
The functions are not
available:
There is a defect in the
brake system.
Do not continue driving. c
If these functions are in order,
you can continue riding. How-
ever, bear in mind that a loss
of brake fluid that cannot be
detected might be the cause
of the warning.
There is a fault in the
brake system which can
lead to deteriorating braking
behavior.
Brake with foresight and
caution, and avoid heavy
braking.

• Have the fault remedied as
quickly as possible by a cer-
